Talent manager Annabelle Rama was [visibly] upset at Vice Ganda after the comedian made a joke about presidential aspirant Sen. Manny Pacquiao.
According to Ogie Diaz’s sources, Rama was offended when Vice made fun of Pacquiao during his concert in the US.
“Ang sabi naman ni Tita Annabelle baka raw hindi nalalaman ni Vice Ganda na si Manny Pacquiao ay 6 na taong naging congressman, 9 na taong senador, 26 years sa boxing at bilyonaryo. Siya raw ang makakapag-save ng buong Pilipinas, sabi ni Tita Annabelle,” Diaz said in a video, adding that Rama will return the joke back to the comedian.
“P-A-C U, Vice Ganda,” he said.
Diaz had to explain that Vice Ganda’s joke about calling Pacquiao’s school ‘Pac U’ if the boxing legend ever opens a university has been shared many times in comedy bars.
“Gusto ko lang sabihin kay Tita Annabelle na hindi ko ipinagtatanggol si Vice Ganda rito pero matagal na pong joke ‘yun dito sa mga comedy bars.
“Ang sabi raw kasi, kung magtatayo ng university si Manny Pacquiao ay tatawagin raw itong Pacquiao University na ang mga estudyante ay tatawaging ‘pacers’ at ang mga nanay ay tatawaging ‘mother pacers’,” Diaz explained.
Sources said Rama got disgusted when Pacquiao got attacked since he is a [real] presidential candidate.
“Ang sabi nga ni Tita Annabelle, ‘wag si Manny, Vice Ganda’, ang kanyang kandidato. Kasi mataas raw sa survey si Manny Pacquiao. Ang intindihin na lamang daw ni Vice Ganda, ‘yung kandidato niya,“
Diaz once again highlighted that the joke is old and recycled.
“Hindi naman dahil pinagtatawanan si Manny Pacquiao kundi naglaro lang rin sila doon sa pangalan. Although syempre sa iba, pangit ‘yun na bakit paglalaruan ang pangalan ng isang tao pero alam mo sa kultura nating mga Pinoy, lahat naman kaya nating gawan ng paraan kung paano magiging light ‘yung comedy o magiging light ang mga isyu.”
Rama is a close friend of Pacquaio and supports the senator’s bid for the top position in the country.
